You need to use tx or confirms. Just having basic.publish finish means 
that the message has gone out on the network.

(And the reason for this is that if the basic.publish were to know that 
the server had received the message, we'd need a network round trip per 
publish, and performance would go WAY down.)

Yes, acks/rejects are transactional.
